>>Xanax for the German Shepherd

I've got a mutt with a similar problem. As soon as it starts raining she starts panting, at the first rumble of thunder she turns into a trembling mess and insists on being as close as possible to her humans. She was outside running aorund one day and I took a quick trip to store and a small thundershower popped up. She literally chewed through two screens trying to get in to the house. SHe also managed to chew up the wooden door trim around all three entrances to the house.

She gets valium now. She's the only dog I own that has an issue. She does make a good barometer. I can tell when a storm or shower is coming long before it arrives.
